    I'd imagine albion is a place, like where West Brom play, I think it's in Birmingham, probably where Dogherty is from.

    I thought it was about Burton Albion and their heroic FA Cup result against Man Utd this season.

    Albion is the ancient name for Britain.

    The poet William Blake reffered to "Albion" extensively in his work, this is probably where Doherty is getting it from.
